Recently, Palaeolithic and Mesolithic archaeology has been breaking
boundaries worldwide. Finds such as the Mesolithic house at Howick,
the sequencing of the Neanderthal genome, and the recently
discovered footprints at Happisburgh all serve to indicate how
archaeologists in these fields are truly at the cutting edge of
understanding humanity s past. This volume celebrates this trend by
focusing on recent advances in the study of the Palaeolithic and
Mesolithic. With contributors from a diverse range of backgrounds,
it allows for a greater degree of interdisciplinary discourse than
is often the case, as the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic are generally
split apart. Wild Things brings together contributions from major
researchers and early career specialists, detailing research taking
place across the British Isles, France, Portugal, Russia, the
Levant and Europe as a whole, providing a cross-section of the
exciting range of research being conducted. By combining papers
from both these periods, it is hoped that dialogue between
practitioners of Palaeolithic and Mesolithic archaeology can be
further encouraged. Topics include: the chronology of the Mid-Upper
Palaeolithic of European Russia; territorial use of Alpine high
altitude areas by Mesolithic hunter-gatherer; discussing the
feasibility of reconstructing Neanderthal demography to examine
their extinction; the funerary contexts from the Mesolithic burials
at Muge; the discovery of further British Upper Palaeolithic
parietal art at Cathole Cave; exploitation of both lithics and
fauna in Palaeolithic France; and an analysis of
Mesolithic/Neolithic trade in Europe."
